RE: some help..
can anybody give me description regarding FOP. like what it is actually and what it does? I presume you've seen the website http://xml.apache.org/fop and you know what XML is. It is an XSL-FO processor. It takes the XSL-FO as input (or generates it first using Xalan/Xerces from XML transformed using XSLT) http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/ and converts it to other formats, primarily PDF. In English, it converts raw data (XML) to print formatted documents (PDF, PS etc) using stylesheets (XSL) or converts formatted data (XSL-FO) into print formatted documents. I hope this helps.

RE: some help..
The element for foreign xml is instream-foreign-object. You can put svg or any other xml markup in their. The processor, ie FOP, then needs to have a handler for that xml. Currently it has a handler for batik. The redesigned FOP has an extension that has a handler for mathml that converts the mathml into svg.

RE: performance problem renedering nested fo-tables

Re: performance problem renedering nested fo-tables
Argyn, In your case it looks like you should investigate using fo:marker and fo:retrieve-marker to get your page headers. Each level of your table nesting would use a different marker-class-name. The page header can then retrieve the contents of that marker (The contents do not print in the page, are there only to be retrieved) in the fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before put something like fo:block Chapter: fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name=chapter retrieve-boundary=page retrieve-position=first-starting-within-page/ Section: fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name=section retrieve-boundary=page retrieve-position=first-starting-within-page//fo:block And in the fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body put fo:marker marker-class-name=chapterOne/fo:marker at the beginning of each chapter etc. Chuck Argyn Kuketayev wrote: Do u know any other ways besides nested tables to achieve the same goal? my goal is whenever the nested section brakes at the page end to have continuing headers on the next page.

Re: Hyphenation
Is there a way to enforce TeX's behavior? Not prepackaged. You are invited to hack around in the files in layout/hyphenation. OK, I did: It is all in org.apache.fop.layout.LineArea.java. I altered the hyphenation strategie as follows: If there is a hyphen in a word and the character data before the hyphen will fit into the current line, hyphenation will be done at the existing hyphen and nowhere else in the word. If there is a hyphen but not enough space left do not hyphenate at all except for the case when this word is the first in a line (-the column/cell is not wide enough to hold the word in one piece). In the latter case fall back to the standard hyphenation strategie. There is also a bug (I think) in LineArea: If the word to be hyphenated is the first in a line an additional space is put in front of it. I tried to solve it by not assigning a 'space' as a spacer but a zero width space (\u200B) in this case. But I still end up with a visible space in the PDF document. I will post my LineArea.java as soon as I have it cleaned up a bit. :-) Ralf

Pinto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 21, 2002 1:35 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Using Xalan Transformer with FOP Driver problem Hi, I have been using FOP to create PDF files for sometime now. Mostly as embedded code within my Struts Action classes, as mentioned in http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html and it has been working just fine. But this method requires the xml source to exist only as a java.io.File (if I am not mistaken), with no provision as an in memory object - like a Java String or Stream for example. So when I looked at the Xalan site and this mailing list I saw the in memory implementation possible with the TransformerFactory and Transformer classes in Xalan. So, I tried this with a simple xml and xsl to test the concept first. But, I seem to be getting the error building formatting object tree building formatting object tree javax.xml.transform.TransformerException at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transformNode(TransformerIm pl.java:1212) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.run(TransformerImpl.java:2894) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) - java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder.startDocument(FOTreeBuilder.java:167) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.QueuedStartDocument.flush(QueuedStartDocume nt.java:108) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.ResultTreeHandler.flushPending(ResultTreeHa ndler.java:758) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.ResultTreeHandler.startElement(ResultTreeHa ndler.java:245) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.ResultTreeHandler.startElement(ResultTreeHa ndler.java:209) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemLiteralResult.execute(ElemLiteralResult.j ava:704) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.executeChildTemplates(Trans formerImpl.java:2154) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.executeChildTemplates(Trans formerImpl.java:2097) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.applyTemplateToNode(Transfo rmerImpl.java:2029) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transformNode(TransformerIm pl.java:1189) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.run(TransformerImpl.java:2894) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) javax.xml.transform.TransformerException at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transformNode(TransformerIm pl.java:1212) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.run(TransformerImpl.java:2894) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) - java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder.startDocument(FOTreeBuilder.java:167) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.QueuedStartDocument.flush(QueuedStartDocume nt.java:108) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.ResultTreeHandler.flushPending(ResultTreeHa ndler.java:758) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.ResultTreeHandler.startElement(ResultTreeHa ndler.java:245) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.ResultTreeHandler.startElement(R esultTreeHandler.java:209) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemLiteralResult.execute(ElemLiteralResult.j ava:704) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.executeChildTemplates(Trans formerImpl.java:2154) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.executeChildTemplates(Trans
Re: Using Xalan Transformer with FOP Driver problem
I use 0.20.1 also with SAX events. I had to add this to get rid of the null pointer: //Hack fix for FOP bug. Might be unnecessary in FOP 0.20.3. StreamRenderer x = new StreamRenderer(outputStream, pdfDriver.getRenderer()); ((FOTreeBuilder)pdfDriver.getContentHandler ()).setStreamRenderer(x); Hope this helps, -Ryan
RE: Using Xalan Transformer with FOP Driver problem
Thanks Ryan, it works now !!!
In fact when you said that this problem was not there in FOP 0.20.3 I tried
that first :-) and it worked. Once I knew it did I went ahead to experiment
with FOP 0.20.1
And the fix you suggested worked.
So the code, just for reference (to others who may need it at a later time)
is
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import javax.xml.transform.sax.*;
import org.apache.fop.apps.Driver;
import org.apache.fop.apps.StreamRenderer;
import org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder;
public class TestXml {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// XML Will eventually be a Java String or Stream from another
source.
StreamSource xmlsource = new StreamSource(new
FileReader(simple.xml));
Driver driver =new Driver();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(simple.pdf);
driver.setOutputStream(fos);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
// Fix : ADDED this code as suggested by Ryan to work with FOP
0.20.1
(yeah, not required by FOP 0.20.3)
StreamRenderer x = new StreamRenderer(fos,
driver.getRenderer());
((FOTreeBuilder)
driver.getContentHandler()).setStreamRenderer(x);
// Fix ends
Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(new StreamSource(new
FileReader(simple.xsl)));
// Previously threw error without above 2 line Fix
transformer.transform(xmlsource, new
SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
//For test purposes only
//transformer.transform(xmlsource, new
StreamResult(System.out));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Ryan, Mehmood I really appreciate your help guys. It did help.
Anil.

Could you please point out any resources to confirm the bug I could forward my hosting admin to? I belive the Tomcat site itself mentions it. Other than that, read the installation instructions for Cocoon regarding Tomcat 4.0.3 and the Cocoon FAQ. The generally recommended workaround is to move everything into the Tomcat lib. Now that Tomcat 4.0.4 is out, your hoster should upgrade to this version. J.Pietschmann
